The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Assumption I is implicit because the warning suggests a cause and effect: students may stop troubling the teacher to avoid punishment (slapping).
Assumption II is not implicit because the teacher's warning does not imply that all students are disobedient. It only addresses the specific behavior of troubling the teacher.
